Abstract

Every child is a unique individual. The way children act or behave in a particular situation may differ from one another. The study identified the prevalence of ADHD symptoms among Grade I learners as observed by their teachers. Descriptive method was utilized. Questionnaire, interview guide, and observation were the instrument used in 17 respondents. It revealed that academic performance level of identified learners to have ADHD symptoms varies. Learners have low academic performance level while others have average academic performance level. Teachers employed various measures to address identified learners to have ADHD symptoms on aggressiveness, inattentiveness, hyperactivity, impulsiveness and depression. Various management practices were used by Grade I teachers to address identified Grade I learners to have ADHD symptoms on aggressiveness, inattentiveness, hyperactivity, impulsiveness and depression to manage and control the behaviour of their learners. The combination of different management practices served as the best management practices to successfully manage and take control on the behaviour of identified learner.
